Ubiquity can beget creativity. Consider the cocoa-dusted slices of tiramisu that are all but guaranteed to be in the dessert case of your nearest Italian-accented restaurant. Those old-fashioned iterations inspire cooks and bartenders to reinterpret the recipe with globetrotting ingredients and untraditional formats. In the last two years, I’ve sipped a Tiramisu Martini at a Nashville cocktail bar (see recipe below), spooned up a version dotted with local strawberries in a farmhouse in Burgundy,

One of life’s simplest pleasures is heading out to a bar on a crisp fall Saturday to enjoy a cold beer on draft. The air has a pleasant chill to it, perhaps there’s some college football on the TV, and friends and loved ones abound. But if there’s one thing that is sure to kill those good vibes, it’s getting served a brew that tastes less than ideal — especially when you know how delicious it normally is.

Over the past handful of years, one of the biggest trends in bourbon has been the proliferation of high-proof , cask-strength whiskey releases. Before they’re packaged, whiskeys are usually diluted with water to bring them down to an easier-to-drink proof. Cask-strength whiskeys, however, are sold at their full strength. When producers deem them ready, they remove the bourbon from the barrel and bottle it without dilution, preserving the intensity of the whiskey.
